Chapter 540 Falling behind in the final
since the beginning of the Olympic Games.
Chris Paul found out.
At least on this day, I could finally sleep comfortably.
In the first game, Paul was dealt a terrible blow.
This made him very uncomfortable.
And now, I see another guy being dealt with badly.
Do not!
It should be said that he was treated even worse.
He finally felt much more comfortable.
first game.
Zhou Yao had 11 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists, 10 steals, and 1 block.
This made him the backdrop for the first quadruple-double in the history of this Olympic Games.
From that day on, Paul prayed every day.
Not for anyone else, just praying that God can bless the Russian team to reach the knockout round and meet the Chinese team led by Zhou Yao.
Although, almost everyone is not optimistic that Russia can enter the knockout rounds.
However, maybe God is taking pity on him.
Russia miraculously reached the top 8 and ranked third in Group A. It happened that the first game of the knockout round had to face the Chinese team led by Zhou Yao.
So Paul, who was supposed to be with his teammates, left alone.
It took a lot of effort to buy a game ticket from a scalper at a high price.
When Huang Niu met him, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
The guy didn't expect that the person he was looking to buy tickets for was actually NBA star Chris Paul.
The scalper even got Paul's autograph.
And Paul was able to fully appreciate the game on the spot.
In other words, among the foreigners watching the game, he may be the one who most hopes that the Chinese team can win by a big score, and he is also the one who most hopes to see Zhou Yao beat Kirilenko.
And Zhou Yao did not disappoint him at all.
10 points. Except for the time when Zhou Yao participated in the track and field competition, this was the game in which Zhou Yao scored the least.
Moreover, in such a competition, Zhou Yao made 12 of 3 shots.
"What the hell is he doing!"
"If this continues, the national team will lose!"
Next to Paul, a fan complained loudly.
When the translator translated this sentence to Paul, Paul was simply surprised.
Zhou Yao's shooting percentage has improved a lot in recent years.
But occasionally there are times when the shooting rate is very sluggish.
In the season that just passed, when Zhou Yao felt the coldest, he shot less than 6%!
This time there is still 25%.
It’s true that it’s not high, but it’s not particularly a hindrance.
Besides, it wouldn't be a problem for Zhou Yao's hit rate to be worse.
The game wasn't over yet when the fan said this, but time was running out.
The point is, 94:49.
It’s really hard to see what Russia will rely on to win the game.
Do we expect them to score 50 points a minute?
10 rebounds.
For Zhou Yao, this can be considered a satisfactory figure.
14 assists.
It has to be considered very reasonable data.
15 steals.
That's good.
He saw Kirilenko get tackled more times than he did.
Paul felt that he could definitely sleep well today.
However, the Russian media always advocated that Kirilenko could get a five-double.
Maybe it was these people who stimulated Zhou Yao.
So during the game, Kirilenko only felt like there was a wall around him.
Others can also pass the ball to themselves.
However, the ball is in his own hands.
Whether you want to shoot or pass.
That wall will always be there.
I can't do anything by myself.
Zhou Yao got 17 blocks.
Of course, there are so many hot pots that even Kirilenko can’t finish them all by himself.
Others also shared a lot.
As a result, the player who was touted as the most likely to achieve a five-double became the first unparalleled best backdrop in Olympic history.
According to Kidd, who slept next door, Paul's laughter could still be heard in the middle of the night.
Of course, this is more likely to be his illusion.
The soundproofing effect of the rooms in the Olympic Village is not that bad.
……
I don’t know if it has something to do with Paul being sacrificed.
After entering the knockout rounds, the American team's performance is still strong.
First, they beat Australia 117:70.
Then faced Spain, which had just defeated Argentina.
109: 61.
Another victory of over 40 points.
James had 42 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals, and 2 blocks.
Obtained the first triple-double in the history of the United States team in the Olympics.
If Zhou Yao's previous four- and five-doubles are not counted, James can also say that he has the first triple-double in Olympic history.
Before that, the Chinese team had also defeated Lithuania in the semifinals.
"The Chinese team still made it to the finals!"
It can be seen that Old Coach K has a headache.
Chris Paul is now even more suspicious that Coach K was using witchcraft before and was sacrificing himself.
Sure enough, the starting list came out quickly.
Kidd replaced Paul as the starting point guard.
Game start.
It seems that Coach K’s tactical arrangements have paid off.
Throughout the first half, Paul could only sit on the bench.
At the highest point in the first half, the U.S. team led by 18 points.
Zhou Yao made 6 of 0 shots in the entire first half.
This even included a missed layup that was completely unmarked.
At the end of the first half, the US team still had an 11-point lead.
"I curse, the American team finally lost this game!"
Chris Paul looked listless.
But he was secretly drawing circles in his mind to curse the American team.
He is not James.
Even if he wins the Olympic title this time, it will not do him any good.
People don't care about his leadership ability.
On the contrary, people will only think that he was the biggest cancer after losing the first game.
In the last game, he didn't play, and the American team won.
In terms of reputation, it would be harmful to him if the American team won.
On the contrary, if the American team loses.
Then the responsibility for the failure does not belong to him, Chris Paul, but to the pretentious old Coach K.
Don’t die as a Taoist friend who is a poor Taoist.
It is better for Old Coach K to bear the infamy than to let him bear the blame.
It seemed that this time God heard Paul's voice again.
The situation changed suddenly in the second half.
Wang Fei began to change his formation.
Point guard Zhou Yao, shooting guard Li Nan, small forward Zhu Fangyu, power forward Du Feng, and center Wang Zhizhi.
The national team has not had such a lineup for a long time.
But those old fans who started watching the game before 2002 still remember it.
Six years ago, it was with this main lineup that the national team won its first world championship.
At that time, many experts believed that such a lineup might not be able to win a game in international competitions.
Today, these people have grown a lot compared to those years ago.
And there are already better candidates for some positions.
Unexpectedly, at the last critical moment, coach Wang Fei trusted the old team that won the championship the most.
But, is this really okay...
